#3 Looks like Municipal Trade dollar #BC26 (if dated 1974) - Stein/Happy Hans - Lists for $12 UNC. It could also be a 1976 which is booked less.

Some of the Trade dollars also have silver and are valued higher. Carefully use a magnet to test. There are around 50 metal compositions but generally each issue will normally have 1-3 different types of metal(s)

Both side scans would help identify the others, otherwise, let me know the town/city name and year that they were redeemable in. I'll let you know about the others.

Trade dollars are very collectable.

I use "A Compendium of Canadian Municipal Trade Tokens" by Serge Pelletier, 1st Edition", only goes up to 2002, but there are other online resources for the newer ones.
